Actually, Alberta is moving away from the standard 125-hours-per-five-credit high school courses through their own high school redesign project. As Members know, we did have a meeting with Minister Eggen from Alberta to discuss those changes to the curriculum. Alberta is a shift away from the standard of 125 hours of instruction for five-credit courses, where students who are involved in the project can now complete courses in less than 125 hours and/or take more time if it is needed. It is based on what the students need. The NWT has always been flexible in this area, part of the education renewal, and we are continuing to follow that direction and continue to look at what Alberta is doing, moving forward.
